quently more safety in ropes used for
scaffolding purposes, particularly in
localities where the atmosphere is de-
structive OF hemp fiber, such ropes
should be dipped, when dry, into q
bath containing twenty grains of sui
plate Of copper per litre OF water, and
kept in soak in this solution some four
days, afterward being dried; the ropes
will thus have absorbed a certain guam

preserve them for some time both from
the attacks OF animal parasites and
from rot. The copper salt may be
fixed in the fiber by q coating Of tar or
by soapy water, and in order to do this
